Leverage That Never Changes.
1:10,000. Fixed. Universal. Permanent.

Most brokers advertise their headline leverage figure and then reduce it — during news events, before weekends, on large accounts, across certain instruments, or when volatility spikes. Capital Street FX does not. The leverage you set on your account is the leverage you trade with. Always. On every instrument. At every balance level. During every market condition. No reductions, no caps, no surprises.

Maximum Leverage

Why Most High-Leverage Offers Are Not What They Seem

Leverage at most brokers is conditional. The headline number — 1:500, 1:1000, 1:2000 — is the maximum possible figure under ideal conditions. In practice, your effective leverage varies constantly based on four factors that most brokers apply simultaneously but rarely advertise clearly.

1
News Event Leverage Reductions
Many brokers reduce leverage to 1:500 or lower in the period surrounding scheduled high-impact economic events. Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC rate decisions, CPI releases, Bank of England and ECB announcements, GDP data — these are the exact moments when an experienced trader may want maximum leverage available. Brokers that reduce leverage during these windows are withdrawing your capital efficiency at the moment you may need it most. The reduction is typically applied 30–60 minutes before the release and lifted 30–60 minutes after. For a trader holding a position through an event, the margin requirement silently increases — potentially triggering a margin call on a position that was properly margined when opened.
2
Weekend Leverage Reductions
A common practice across the industry is to reduce leverage on open positions before the Friday close or Saturday open, and restore it at the Sunday open. The stated reason is to protect against gap risk — the possibility that prices open significantly different on Sunday to where they closed Friday. In practice, this forces traders to either reduce position size going into the weekend or hold more margin than they planned when they opened the trade. A trader who opens a gold position on Thursday at 1:1000 may find it subject to 1:100 margin requirements by Friday evening.
3
Account Balance Tier Reductions
Several major brokers apply dynamic leverage that automatically decreases as account equity grows. A trader with a $500 account may have access to 1:2000. The same trader, after growing the account to $5,000, may find leverage automatically capped at 1:500 — even though they have more capital and arguably more demonstrated ability to manage risk. This means the trader's capital efficiency per dollar actually decreases as their account grows. It is a structural disincentive to successful trading.
4
Instrument-Specific Leverage Caps
Even at brokers that advertise universal high leverage, the reality is that different asset classes carry different maximum leverage limits. Indices are typically capped at 1:200, crypto at 1:20 to 1:100, commodities at 1:100 to 1:500, and stocks at 1:5 to 1:20. The advertised headline figure applies only to major forex pairs — and even then, only under the equity and event conditions described above. A trader who wants to apply the same leverage strategy across forex, gold, oil, and indices will find that only the forex positions carry their full leverage.
How to Set Your Leverage at CSFX
CSFX offers a range of fixed leverage settings: 1:100, 1:200, 1:500, 1:1,000, 1:2,000, 1:3,000, 1:5,000, and 1:10,000. You select your leverage when opening your account and can adjust it at any time through your account dashboard. The selected rate then applies to all positions across all instruments until you choose to change it. There is no algorithm adjusting it in the background, no event calendar overriding it, and no balance threshold reducing it.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE USE OF LEVERAGE
CAPITAL STREET FX

Applicability: All Trading Accounts

1. Leverage Assignment Structure

Leverage is automatically assigned based on the client’s total deposit. The stop-out level is calculated as a percentage of the higher of account equity or balance at any given time.

1.1 Standard Leverage and Stop-Out Structure (Without Bonus)
Deposit Range (USD) Leverage Stop-Out Level
$50 – $4991:1 to 1:20010%
$50 – $4991:201 to 1:1000030%
$500 – $9991:1 to 1:20010%
$500 – $9991:201 to 1:500030%
$1000 & aboveUp to 1:100010%
Example 1 – Low Deposit Tier:
  • Deposit: $300
  • Assigned Leverage: 1:10000
  • Stop-Out Level: 30%
  • Margin used: $100 | Equity: $200 | Balance: $300
  • Stop-out Calculation: 30% of higher of $300 or $200 = $90
  • Result: Since equity ($200) > $90, stop-out is NOT triggered.
Example 2 – High Deposit Tier:
  • Deposit: $5000
  • Assigned Leverage: 1:1000
  • Stop-Out Level: 10%
  • Margin used: $1000 | Equity: $800 | Balance: $5000
  • Stop-out Calculation: 10% of higher of $5000 or $800 = $500
  • Result: Since equity ($800) > $500, stop-out is NOT triggered.

Note: Leverage is assigned at the time of deposit. Custom leverage may be requested in writing.

2. Leverage Assignment with Bonus

Clients who accept trading bonuses are subject to an alternate leverage and stop-out structure. Stop-out remains based on the higher of equity or balance, excluding bonus credit.

2.1 Leverage and Stop-Out Structure with Bonus
Deposit Range Bonus Leverage Stop-Out
$100 – $199150%Up to 1:100010%
$200 – $499200%Up to 1:100010%
$500 – $999300%Up to 1:500030%
$1000 & above650%Up to 1:1000030%
Important: For all accounts with a bonus, if the leverage is up to 1:1000, the stop-out level will always remain at 10%, irrespective of the deposit amount.
Example 3 – Mid-Tier Bonus Use:
  • Deposit: $700 | Bonus: 300% ($2100)
  • Total Balance : $2800
  • Assigned Leverage: 1:5000 | Stop-Out Level: 30%
  • Margin used: $500 | Equity: $600 | Balance: $700
  • Stop-out Calculation: 30% of $2800 (highest level of equity/balance) = $840
  • Result: If equity drops below $840, stop-out is triggered.

Frequently Asked Question's

Find quick and reliable answers to your most commonly asked questions here.

No. Capital Street FX does not reduce leverage during any news event, economic data release, or central bank decision — including Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC rate decisions, CPI releases, Bank of England announcements, ECB decisions, or any other scheduled or unscheduled event. Your account leverage remains exactly as set at all times. Many brokers apply temporary leverage caps of 1:500 or lower during these windows — CSFX does not. Your margin requirements on open positions will not change because of a news event.

No. Capital Street FX does not apply weekend leverage reductions on any instrument. A position opened Thursday with leverage set to 1:10,000 is still at 1:10,000 on Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. Many brokers automatically reduce leverage on open positions before the weekend close — particularly on forex, gold, and oil — to manage their own gap risk. CSFX does not apply any such automatic reduction. Your leverage is fixed continuously, not just during trading hours.

No. Capital Street FX does not apply dynamic or tiered leverage based on account equity, balance size, or the total volume of open positions. Some brokers automatically reduce maximum leverage as account equity exceeds thresholds — for example, dropping from 1:2000 to 1:500 once an account exceeds $5,000, or to 1:200 above $10,000. At CSFX, your leverage setting is fixed regardless of how large your account becomes or how many simultaneous positions you hold. A $100,000 account with leverage set to 1:10,000 has exactly the same leverage as a $100 account with the same setting.

Yes. The 1:10,000 leverage at Capital Street FX applies universally across all instruments — all 66 forex pairs, all 47 indices, all 629 stock CFDs, all 46 commodity and metal CFDs, all 21 crypto CFDs, all 24 ETF CFDs, and all bond instruments. There are no instrument-specific leverage caps, no asset class restrictions, and no market-type penalties. If your account is set to 1:10,000, that is your leverage on every trade you open on any market across any of the three CSFX platforms.

Capital Street FX offers the following fixed leverage settings: 1:100, 1:200, 1:500, 1:1,000, 1:2,000, 1:3,000, 1:5,000, and 1:10,000. You select your preferred leverage when opening your account and can adjust it at any time through your account dashboard. Your selected leverage applies immediately to all new positions across all instruments on all platforms — AltX, FxyFi, and Act. It remains fixed at your chosen level until you manually change it. The 1:10,000 setting is available on all account types from Basic ($100 minimum deposit) to VIP ($10,000 minimum deposit).
